Each board is screened by hand, one at a time, layer upon layer, making each print unique unto its own—just like snowflakes! That said, sorry, but we will not consent to any returns unless the graphic is determined to be unacceptable at our discretion. Please take this into consideration prior to ordering any screen-printed boards.

Product Description:
Will someone will think I'm dissing the Bones Brigade with this design? In all honesty, if I may be truthful, I'm not. Not in the least. If anything, I'm harkening back to a time when I first started skating and was enthralled by all these mythical sounding names on the bottom of the boards. Tony Hawk? Mike McGill? Steve Caballero? Lance Mountain? By the names alone, I would've thought they were all make believe people dreamt up in a marketing lab—or, in this case, a supreme race of highly-skilled aliens hiding amongst us normals with the subconscious message to consume their pro models. I, for one, certainly did. On multiple occasions. Even to my own Boneite detriment at times, but the graphics kept sucking me in despite the actual boards sucking. If that's proof of mind control, I don't know what is.
